    Jade Green Grunt

    The Nemo is from Zeta Gundam and shows up as a mass produced mobile suit during the Gryps conflict. This is an early above-average-for-its-time 2.0 styled Master Grade kit.
    The more famous version of this is the P-Bandai 'desert color' off-white version, notable from Gundam Unicorn during the city fight scene with the Juaggu (notable for its elephant trunk).

    Aesthetics:
    "Blue and green, should never be seen, without a color in-between" is a design saying for a reason.
    The most obvious and immediate stand-out visual trait is the model's saturated jade green color, which does not translate well onto digital pictures, as they struggle to capture that blue-green spectrum. The attached image is of the Nemo, Jesta and GM Command, and the Nemo appears as more turquoise than green, but does not look like that in real life.

    While it has next to no panel lines and only a few tick marks, the model has plenty of inner frame detail, such as the face behind the visor, cabling on the inner knees, pistons, vents and other detail that would all benefit from a metal marker. It is also one of the earliest kits to hide seam lines by making separate panels that match together, rather than splitting a whole casing into two.
    The kit comes with a sticker decal sheet and a dry-transfer decal sheet, no foils (not even for the rear camera or gun sight) and no color correction stickers (although it's not all color accurate).

    Mechanics:
    It's a 2006 kit, so the 'gimmick' is the fact that it has a full inner frame with decent articulation and sliding inner pistons, as is typical of kits from this period forwards. It has ball-in-socket hips, which limit the legs outwards but the hips do slide forwards together to make kneeling poses more natural. There are no fold-out shoulders, though they do tilt back, forth, up and down. The massive calf vent casings pull out and open, as does the cockpit.

    Equipment:
    1 Beam Rifle, storable on either side skirt, facing either way
    1 Shield - slides and collapses in half, attached on either forearm
    2 Hands - simple tab-in-palm grab hands with folding fingers
    2 Beam Saber flashlight hilts, stored on back skirt
    2 neon green Beam Saber Effects
    1 seated pilot figure and 1 1/100 pilot figure
    1 Base Adapter

    Conclusion:
    Sometimes you get kits like this that handle their advanced age well, like the Kämpfer, and sometimes you get some that are outdated even for their own time, like the RX-78-2 Ver.Ka.
    The Nemo comes off as a basic grunt and it's a little hard to appreciate that this was actually a superb kit for its time, since it just does what it's supposed to, by 2026 standards. Without any special equipment or gimmicks, aside from the calf vents opening up, there's just not that much to it, but there's also not supposed to be, it's just a background mook for the other kits.
    To me its fun to put next to other grunts to see how they compare.

    Do you like how it looks on the pictures? Then this is the kit for you. Good for customization, especially if you want to paint it in the desert colors, as the P-Bandai version is difficult to get, although the visor is orange and you would need a blue one to do that properly.
